This Hotel is centrally located in the Umhlanga Village with everything at your doorstep. It is well maintained and charmingly designed and offers the best value of any Hotel in this area.

This was completely hassle free and was very much appreciated. They carried all the costs. Nice! I have stayed in this hotel previously and it is a good quality, clean, safe hotel which is near by some excellent restaurants in Umhlanga Rocks. They obviously care about customer experience. ##### Alistair ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie Oct 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff at this place are phenomenal!! We had only booked this for one night, but ended up staying for 4 nights because we all took turns with the stomach flu. There is a pharmacy connected with the hotel, which was wonderful. Each morning when I would go down to extend for another night, they would ask how we were doing, give us water bottles and ask if there was anything extra they could do to help out. Across the street was a small grocery store that we could pick up things.. Uber Eats works there also, but you have to meet them outside the front door. The beds are very comfortable and nice size bathroom. It is about a 5 minute walk down to Umhlanga rocks and the lighthouse. There is a mall within walking distance and also several other restaurants besides what is in the mall. Parking is covered and secured. Breakfast has so many options and is so good. I would definitely stay at this place again if we go back. ##### Debbie Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Jock Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Jock-Safari-Lodge.h1197267.Hotel-Information) > > [The Doolhof Country House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wellington-Hotels-Doolhof-Boutique-Hotel.h99973484.Hotel-Information) > > [Ledges Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Jagersrust-Hotels-Ledges-Retreat.h31484582.Hotel-Information) > > [Nkuhlu Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Nkomazi-Hotels-Nkuhlu-Tented-Camp.h95115465.Hotel-Information) > > [Nkambeni Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.ca/Kruger-National-Park-Hotels-Nkambeni-Safari-Camp.h2202798.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Sibaya Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hillhead-Hotels-Royal-Sibaya-Hotel.h19629214.Hotel-Information) > > [Thatchings Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Currys-Post-Hotels-Thatchings-Guest-House.h3808542.Hotel-Information) > > [Ridgeton Towers](https://www.expedia.ca/Umhlanga-Hotels-Ridgeton-Towers.h30793216.Hotel-Information) > > [Rivermead](https://www.expedia.ca/Himeville-Hotels-Rivermead.h12834703.Hotel-Information) > > [Matumi Golf Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Nelspruit-Hotels-Matumi-Golf-Lodge.h15044307.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Cabanas-Hotel-At-Sun-City-Resort.h9459.Hotel-Information) > > [SpionKop Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ladysmith-Hotels-SpionKop-Lodge.h6273598.Hotel-Information) > > [Mafigeni Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gravelotte-Hotels-Mafigeni-Safari-Lodge.h3954755.Hotel-Information) > > [Riverbend Chalets Self Catering](https://www.expedia.ca/Durban-Hotels-Riverbend-Chalets-Self-Catering.h45388238.Hotel-Information) > > [Gonana Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Paternoster-Hotels-Gonana-Guesthouse.h44806063.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sun-City-Hotels-The-Palace-Of-The-Lost-City-At-Sun-City-Resort.h392096.Hotel-Information) > > [Esiweni Luxury Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ladysmith-Hotels-Esiweni-Luxury-Safari-Lodge.h33761660.Hotel-Information) > > [Seaside Apartment @ Perna Perna Umdloti](https://www.expedia.ca/Umdloti-Hotels-Perna-Perna-Umdloti.h69823538.Hotel-Information) > > [Leopard Tree Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Lalapanzi-Guest-House.h18236837.Hotel-Information) > > [Zimbali Condo](https://www.expedia.ca/Ballito-Hotels-Zimbali-Condo.h14730767.Hotel-Information) > > [On the Beach Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Jeffreys-Bay-Hotels-On-The-Beach-Guesthouse.h3864218.Hotel-Information) > > [Marlin Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-Marlin-Lodge.h6020379.Hotel-Information) > > [33 The Bridge Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Lucia-Hotels-33-The-Bridge-Resort.h38866374.Hotel-Information) > > [Thorn & Feather (Vermaaklikheid)](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermaaklikheid-Hotels-Thorn-Feather.h61102048.Hotel-Information) > > [The Shark Bay Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Langebaan-Hotels-Shark-Bay-Hotel-Spa.h48397505.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Chad Luxury Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Kleinmond-Hotels-Villa-Chad.h13128610.Hotel-Information) > > [AppleBee Guest Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Grahamstown-Hotels-AppleBee-Guest-Cottages.h19791052.Hotel-Information) > > [Sani Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Sani-Pass-Hotels-Sani-Mountain-Lodge.h36116080.Hotel-Information) > > [Nutmeg Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Howick-Hotels-Nutmeg-Guest-House.h14890929.Hotel-Information)
